(Worthy News) – Arab League nations will meet in Riyadh on April 15 to work to prevent Israel from gaining a seat on the U.N. Security Council, Arab League chief Ahmed Abul Gheit said in a statement on Tuesday.
The summit was originally slated for the end of March, the usual date for the Arab League’s annual meeting, but Saudi Arabia’s ambassador in Egypt and league delegate Ahmed Qattan said the timing needed to change to accommodate Egypt’s March 26-28 presidential elections.
The Security Council is considered the U.N.’s most powerful body, charged with maintaining international peace and security, as well as accepting new members to the United Nations. [ Source: Israel Hayom (Read More…) ]
